My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 709 A Gift from the Future

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"The night of the secular world has gradually fallen, and darkness has enveloped the earth. The dirty things hiding in the shadows have become active again."

"These evil creatures roamed the streets and alleys, looking for suitable targets, intending to devour the fresh flesh and blood to fill their stomachs."

"You have walked out of the winemaker's wine shop. Will you choose to return to the Dongyue Temple to continue exploring? Or will you choose to travel to other places? Or will you leave Beiping City to open up a new map?"

The game gives three options: Dongyue Temple Fair, other places, and leaving Peking.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to continue wandering around Beiping City to see if he could trigger some new plots.

"You walked out of the alley and came to a remote and deserted hutong. Just as you were about to take a shortcut to Qianmen Street, you didn't expect several figures to jump out from both sides of the hutong, blocking both sides tightly, and approaching you with weapons in their hands."

"These creatures are dressed differently, but without exception, they all exude the unpleasant smell of the beast-maker. I think you killed the beast-maker's companion. You ruined their good deeds, not only causing them to lose a large amount of property, but also killing one of their people. Just now, the detective team and the urban management team from the patrol room were here, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They have been following you, intending to find an opportunity to take revenge, and at the same time, they also want to make up for the lost property from you."

"These beastmen rushed towards you with their weapons in hand without saying a word, but they were no match for you at all and were quickly knocked to the ground by you in no time."

"You have killed the Beast Maker +12."

"You have received incense +3000."

"But at this moment, you suddenly felt a palpitation, as if you were being stared at by something dangerous. You subconsciously raised your head and looked forward, and saw a figure hiding on the eaves, holding a sniper-type firearm in his hand. With a flash of fire, a dumdum bullet was fired at your forehead. Before you could react, the bullet went into your head, leaving a hole in the front. But from the back, your entire skull and brain were blown to pieces."

"You died from a long-range sniper attack."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the scapegoat's power and revive yourself?"

Tsk, the subordinates are quite efficient, using sniper rifles and dum-dum bullets. This type of bullet has amazing lethality. It leaves a bullet hole in the front, but the wound in the back can be magnified dozens of times. The person who is shot will either die or be disabled.

As for who killed him with a sniper weapon, Jiang Xinghuo had a rough guess in his mind. It was most likely the captain of the detective team of the police station.

I have ruined its plans and cut off its source of income. It must be eager to cut me into pieces, use these beastmen as a cover, and then wait for an opportunity to shoot me to death. Only in this way can it relieve its hatred.

"You used the scapegoat and came back to life in the alley. Then you used the Nine Deaths Cicada to make yourself invisible. The shadow hiding on the eaves pulled the trigger repeatedly, but the bullets passed through your body without causing any harm to you. They only caused sparks to fly on the ground."

"You used your magical movement skills and in a flash you were on the roof. The man who attacked you knew something was wrong and threw away his firearm, turned around and fled to an open area. However, he was too slow and could not escape your magical movement skills. He was soon blocked by you."

"You also discovered the true face of the person opposite you at this time. It was the captain of the detective team of the police station. He was standing there with a fierce look on his face, shouting angrily that he was from the police station. If you dare to hurt him, the police station will never let you go. You'd better make way for him and let him pass. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

"What are your options next?"

"Are you going to let the captain of the detective team go, allowing him to leave this alley unharmed, and just pretend that what happened tonight never happened?"

"Or should we choose to kill it right here, so that it won't look for trouble again in the future?"

There was naturally nothing to worry about between these two options, so Jiang Xinghuo simply chose the second answer.

It has already shot me. If I let it run away, wouldn't the shot be in vain?
"The detective captain sensed the murderous intent in you and knew that there was little hope of escaping alive tonight, but he still wanted to fight hard and escape from here by force. As long as he ran to the street ahead, he could call the police patrolling the street at night, and then he would have a chance to save his life."

"But you didn't give it this chance. Two black and white hands stretched out from your acupoints and grabbed the detective captain's soul from your body with just a grab. Only a body fell to the ground."

"You have killed the captain of the police station detective team."

"You gained incense +450."

"Night has enveloped the city of Beiping. No one except you knows what happened in the alley. Only a few worthless corpses are left lying in the dark and damp corner of the alley, waiting to be discovered by Ye Xiangfu who passes by tomorrow morning."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the alley. After dealing with things here, the time in reality came to nine o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Xinghuo quit the game and had no intention of continuing to stay up late to play. Instead, he chose to take out the heirloom lamp and placed it on the bedside.

Last night, he planned to try out the power of this legendary lamp, but unfortunately due to an unexpected situation in the game, he stayed up all night and did not trigger the power of the legendary lamp.

In fact, he didn't know whether the heirloom lamp would play any role after he fell asleep tonight.

Because the heirloom lamp needs to be based on the heirloom laws to be activated, but the heirloom laws he currently masters are only the superficial ones, and he is unable to utilize their related abilities and characteristics at all, so everything can only be left to luck.

Jiang Xinghuo placed the heirloom lamp at the head of the bed, then lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and quietly waited to fall asleep.

I don’t know if it was because I was thinking about this matter in my heart, but I didn’t feel sleepy but rather unusually alert while lying in bed.

This situation continued until late at night, when Jiang Xinghuo fell into a dream in a daze.

In the dream, Jiang Xinghuo seemed to be in the perspective of a bystander. It was still the forest in the wilderness, with a few dead graves sitting there alone. There were many people standing in front of the graves, as if they were burning incense to pay tribute to the people in the graves.

Jiang Xinghuo wanted to move closer to see the words engraved on the tombstone and the faces of those paying their respects.

However, he found that no matter how fast he accelerated, he could not get close to those lonely graves and the people who were paying tribute at the graves.

It was as if there was an invisible chasm between the two, completely isolating him from the world where those people lived.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo didn't know what to do and wanted to give up this idea, the person standing in front of the grave suddenly turned around and pointed at him lightly in the air, as if something fell into his hand.

He instinctively wanted to look down, but he felt as if someone pushed him from behind. The feeling of weightlessness from falling from a high altitude suddenly hit him, and his body trembled suddenly, waking him up from his sleep. The sky had already brightened.

nine in the morning.

It seemed that only a short time had passed in the dream, but in reality, a whole night had passed.

Jiang Xinghuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked back at the heirloom lamp on the bedside table. Without any reaction, he reached out to take it, intending to put it back into the magic bag, but the moment he took the lamp in his hand, he froze.

"hot?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the oil lamp in his hand with some surprise. It felt warm to the touch, as if it had just been extinguished.

So, the dream I had last night was also caused by the heirloom lamp, and it was not that I dreamed at night about what I thought about during the day?
While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, he felt something hit him next to him. He turned his head and saw that it was a small rusty iron box, only the size of a fist, with an extremely complicated puzzle lock on it.

What is this? Where did it come from?

Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the dream he had last night. Someone seemed to have given him something, but before he could see clearly what it was, he was awakened from his sleep.

Could this small iron box be what I got in my dream last night?

Jiang Xinghuo put away the heirloom lamp and turned to look at the small iron box. He spent half an hour restoring the complicated puzzle lock on it to its original state. As the iron box was rusty, the pattern on it could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely make out that it seemed to be a monster, but could not tell its specific identity or race.

And as the puzzle lock was opened, the small iron box also quietly opened, revealing what was inside, which turned out to be a crystal agate as red as blood.

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously opened the Tathagata storehouse in his right eye. The small pupil slowly rotated out, and the relevant information of the red agate was reflected on the retina.

"The Heart Blood of the Great Disaster God (Epic Material), a drop of blood from the heart of the Great Disaster God, a demon from the underworld. It contains the essence of the Great Disaster God's power. It can be used as a material for refining elixirs, and can also be swallowed by the demons of the Great Disaster God's race, which can greatly improve the Great Disaster God's cultivation and potential."

Looking at the information on his retina, Jiang Xinghuo felt a little dazed. This was something that someone in the future gave him in his dream.

Who could that person be?
Your own descendants?
friend?

Or is it something your future self gives to your present self?
It was a pity that he couldn't get close to those people in his dream last night, otherwise he could just walk over and take a look. Even without communicating, he wouldn't be here making wild guesses.

But one thing is certain, that is, he can indeed communicate with the future through the heirloom lamp.

Since the other party gave this thing to me, it means that it is of great use to me.

Jiang Xinghuo awakened the Prison Disaster in his body and released the Great Disaster God imprisoned within. As soon as the hazy figure hidden in the Yellow Springs disaster energy appeared, the entire bedroom and living room became gloomy and eerie.

He found this great disaster god from the ruins of the Beast Taming Immortal Cave, and it had been sleeping inside the Prison Disaster in his body.

According to the information obtained by Tathagatagarbha, the heart blood of the Great Disaster God in the small iron box can be used to improve the level and potential of the Great Disaster God.

Rather than keeping it for refining special pills, it is better to give it to the Great Disaster God.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and directly handed the Great Disaster God's Heart Blood in his hand to the hazy figure in the Yellow Springs Disaster Air.

After the blood-red crystal was integrated into the evil spirit, it instantly turned into a ball of blood energy, slowly enveloping the great evil spirit inside.

The terrifying and cold aura gradually spread, and the red blood mixed in the disaster energy was gradually absorbed by the Great Disaster God, and the hazy figure became more solid than before.

"The level of the Great Disaster God has been increased by +2."

"The Great Disaster God's cultivation and potential have also been improved, +3."

"The Great Disaster God has not yet completely refined the power contained in the heart blood. Once it completely refines the power essence contained in the heart blood, its strength will be enhanced again."

After the Great Disaster God absorbed the heart blood into his body, his cell phone vibrated and a corresponding text message came from the game.

To put it simply, the power contained in the heart blood is relatively strong, and the Great Disaster God cannot absorb it completely in a short time. It needs some time to digest it. Judging from the Great Disaster God's drowsy state, this is probably the case. Jiang Xinghuo directly took it back into the body and let it slowly digest and absorb.

Now, if someone in the future is trying hard to find a way to help him, then he has even less reason to give up and accept his fate.

Even if I cannot avoid death in the end, I cannot die in such a cowardly way. Even if I cannot drag the other party down with me, I have to bite off a piece of its flesh and make it feel pain for the rest of its life, so that it will tremble with fear whenever it thinks of its name.

After calming down, Jiang Xinghuo got up, washed, and opened the shop for business. In his spare time, he would play games. After wandering around Beiping City for most of the day and making sure that there were no new plots to be triggered for the time being, he activated the Fengdu Shrine and teleported himself to the Jiangnan region.

"Please choose where you would like to explore next?"

"Will you go to Yanziwu to attend the animal-making gathering? Or will you go to Tai Sui Cave to find out what's going on? Or will you go to the Tai Sui God's territory in Jiangnan City to take on the task?"

When Jiang Xinghuo read the text, he thought that the body of Tai Sui God was lying in the small prison, and who knows who is occupying Tai Sui City now! !
Maybe it’s another trick up the sleeve of the Lord of the Secular World!
It could also be a new puppet raised by those ancient strongmen!!

However, he had a task on hand, which was related to the Tai Sui Tianguan under the Tai Sui God's throne. If he wanted to complete it, he could not avoid a trip, so it didn't matter whether he went early or late, and there was no point in delaying it, so he might as well solve the matter as soon as possible.

"You chose to go to Jiangnan City."

"On the way, please wait..."

The game entered a semi-idle state, and it was not until two hours later that new text was sent into the game.

"You have arrived at Jiangnan City."
